Once upon a lined page…

A drop of purple ink…

…fell on a school notebook, and out of the blot climbed the Purple Ink Witch. Now she is scribbling monsters over every page of the school year. Only one little doodle can stop her: Bit, the Ballpoint Knight.

One school day, one run

Every day at school is a new roguelike run with its own timetable. Win your fights, collect stickers and bring your coins home to your desk.

  • Pick your classes

    Math, P.E., Art, Science, Literature, History, Music and Geography. Heal at recess, shop at the canteen, then face the boss at the last bell.

  • 8 weapons from your pencil case

    Ruler, eraser, pencil, slingshot, compass, set square, fountain pen and slate. Every 4th hit in a row is a finishing blow, and a full bar of ink unleashes a special move.

  • 14 bosses that play fair

    From the Scissors and the Stapler to the Ink Dragon. Every boss attack is drawn on the floor before it lands: read it, dash aside, strike back.

  • Stickers that stack

    Win a fight, then pick 1 of 3 stickers for your sticker page. Put stickers of the same family side by side for bonus power.

  • Games at every break

    Rub Out, Quick Draw and Line Hop: quick reflex mini games between classes, played with nothing but taps.

  • Gear up, dress up

    15 pieces of gear and 5 full sets with bonus powers. Party hats, heart glasses and 9 ink colors, rainbow ink included.
